[R] How to write the entire session to file?

[Greg Snow]

A different approach is to use the etxtStart function in the TeachingDemos package.  You need to run this before you start, then it will save everything (commands and output and plots if you tell it to) to a file that can then be post processed to give a file that shows basic coloring (or with options in the post processing, even more coloring).  Though it may be better to just run your R session through an editor like ESS/emacs or others.
